Description
A New Year's Eve world music radio program with Scots Hogmanay, Arabic New Year songs, goddess of the new year Yemanja (Lemanja, Yemaya, Mami Wata, . . .), Kwanzaa principles of Kuumba and Imani, and goodbyes to Roswell Rudd, Keely Smith, and Bronx fire hero Private Emmanuel Mensah, a Ghanaian immigrant.
A few stops along the way: Emmy Lou Harris, Rufus Wainwright, Dick Gaughan, and the McGarrigles combine to do "Wild Mountain Thyme," Bahrainian Saudi Rashed Al Majid does "Kel Aam," Mia Doi Todd does "Canto de Lemanjá," Clarence Wheeler and the Enforcers do "Kuumba," and Roswell Rudd & The Mongolian Buryat Band do "Gathering Light."
